Love Poem: Keepsake of Love

Keepsake of Love


                         Since I lost you my love,
           my tears could fill all the oceans blue;
        I am afraid my love that I cannot go on,
      that I have lost me too and wander melancholy,
        searching my heart and soul for a token;
            a keepsake, a memento of our love.

        I am adrift and invisible, I feel like a cast away,
          and hide like I am hunted by wild creatures;
      then, as I sit weeping on a city park bench,
        I stroke my wedding ring and am taken back;
            to our wedding day when we said I do.

        So, I have found this token of our love,
      it is this gold ring upon my finger, this love keepsake;
                           that I will wear forevermore,
            as a token of our eternal love.
